Join us as we lift our voices in support of the Center for Theater Arts and kids of all abilities!

Don't miss Jim Caruso and Billy Stritch in Jim Caruso's Cast Party, the gold standard of open mic nights. The show also features current and past CTA students, as well as a special performance from the CTA’s Special Actors program.

Cast Party is a wildly popular happening that has brought Broadway glitz and urbane wit to the legendary Birdland in New York City every Monday night since 2003. Think "American Idol" meets "The Tonight Show." Legendary showman Jim Caruso guides the entire affair with razor-sharp humor and the unbridled enthusiasm of an uber-fan. Musical Director Billy Stritch holds court at the ivories as the real fun starts when the audience participates in the onstage festivities.

For more than 40 years, the Center for Theater Arts has pursued a single purpose: to provide a platform for students of all ages and abilities to enhance their confidence and self-image, regardless of their ability to pay. We’ve made it through the greatest challenge in our organization’s history. We are positioned to grow thanks to the support of our friends throughout the community, who help us inspire our students to become the best at being themselves. Your ticket purchase to this event will help our 501c3 nonprofit performing arts school remain committed to its mission.
